Great post work, texture and shadows # 4 is the original

Wonderful stuff, Harry; this to me says "Southern California", that rock facing and tree next to the iron gate. It's a "look" I haven't seen many other places in my travels aside from Arizona (though in fairness, I've never spent time in Florida). And oddly enough, I think I like the B&W filtered one best. Excellent study in composition, light and shadow!

Nice work on these captures Harry, and I like the variations

Wonderful ! I love them all.

Nice work. Aloha

rEALLY GOOD...BRILLIANT IDEA SO WELL CARRIED OUT. cONGRATS

Fantastic manipulations...Wonderfully done!

Very creative work!

this is terrific, both as photography---the original is worth the upload, by itself---as well as 2D art. It really is 2D art, in some of the panels. The original is a terrific study of tree and shadow, against that 2-part wall. The upper part is perfect foil to those shadows; and the lower part---it's another of your stone walls captured in such clarity. (The bleaching sun helps make the stones 'hit us in the face'.) And the contrasts, too, are fine---between stone, plaster, and the grillwork fence. All held together by branches and shadows. A splendid shot. But your variations are as good. (And just one full-size view? One of my banes, as this is true on other art-sites too, from many artists: Why would artists not look at everyone's art full-size? We're all artists: Don't we want art to be seen in its fullness? I'll never, never understand it.) Your textured variation---top---brings out the shadows strongly, along with the cracks between the stones. The next one is a vivid Southwest-hued variation, with what looks like some inverted hues---whatever they are, they've reversed some of the light and dark in spots, making the textures more dramatic. (You didn't do that with the whole image, but in spots, it appears. Complex variation.) The black and white picks up on the same theme, but pares it down to pure tone and pattern, as black and white will do. And the last one is really complex: It looks like you applied some techniques to one portion, and other techniques to another (a rather delicate business, and time-consuming I imagine). It's turned all the lines into illumined pathways. Really fine work, Harry. As I say, the original would be worth it by itself; but your variations are very complex, and only back my notion that you do 2D and abstraction here more than you think. A beautiful piece, beginning to end.

Well totally unlike me, I like the top shot best! I know,. not like me.. Great variations mate! Rob

I am back at long last to your wonderful gallery, and you have not made choosing which images to comment on easy! I love both the original and variations here! I agree with Mark, that the original is worthy of its own upload. Beautiful clarity and light. It has both a defined and soft look to it. I love the composition, with the tree framing the right side, the leaves framing the left, and the shadow sprawled out in between. The image is beautiful and there are wonderful details of beauty too. I like the shadow which goes up the narrow trunk. It made me think of a zipper. The shadow of the trunk has a circular section like a head, so I see a figure with upraised arms that turn into tree branches like Daphne turning into a laurel. Beautiful colors and light. The first is my favorite variation. I love the added texture and detail, and the 3d effect. The second variation makes me think of heat, like I have gained the ability to see heat radiating off tree and stone. I like the satiny effects on the trunk and branches, the texture of the rock wall, and the green of the leaves on the left. The next one has a flatter effect. I like the shadows a lot. They look like the brush strokes on Japanese ink paintings. The last one looks a lot like a negative to me, but with non-negative aspects that make it very interesting. The shadows between the rocks seem like light pouring out from the rocks in the wall. The relative normality of the blues and greens add to this variation's surreal nature. Wonderful capture and variations!
